Build fails with static framework > 1.0.1

[tiago-g-henriques]

I tried following the instructions in Samuel's video (http://vimeo.com/27618429), but just adding any version of the CoconutKit static framework from 1.1 to 1.1.3 causes the build to fail. The linker fails with multiple "Undefined symbol" errors:

This happens both building for the simulator (as shown above) and for the native device. I'm using Xcode 4.3.2 on OS X 10.7.3.

Using version 1.0.1 does not produce these errors.

As CoconutKit evolves, its dependencies evolve as well. The video I posted on Vimeo shows how to setup CoconutKit for versions 1.0 up to (but not including) 1.1. Newer versions of CoconutKit have additional dependencies on CoreData.framework and QuartzCore.framework, among others. I sadly cannot update the video with each version of CoconutKit, but I keep the project Readme file up-to-date (see the "How should I use CoconutKit?" section).

In your case, and according to your compilation log, you should add CoreData.framework and QuartzCore.framework to your project dependencies (target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries). This should solve your linker issues. You should also add MessageUI.framework to avoid other linker issues in the future.

Thanks for the quick reply, that did the trick. Closing the ticket.
